Got this off at 8:21 am this morning:  

Bio:  I love the Chronicle and will be checking things out at the SF Chronicle's Restaurant Night!

 

After  reading “Sales booming for egg alternatives” and “Ag subsidies are a good place for cutting government waste,” I wonder why  the SF Chronicle’s Food Section  continues to feature eggs even in its vegetarian recipes, discriminating against the much-maligned minority that’s--pardon the V-word—vegan!

 

 Yes, as the article on egg alternatives points out, there are egg substitutes like Just Egg;  I’ve enjoyed scrambled eggs with them that the carnivores with me  thought tasted just like eggs.  But since I’ve been doing volunteer work for the environment and animal welfare with every bite, I’ve discovered that if I Google “vegan cookies” or “vegan potato omelet” or precede any dish I like with “vegan,” recipes pop up.  There are a lot of delicious egg-free, plant-based dishes that Food and Wine ignores. 

 

I have my ticket for the Chronicle’s Restaurant Night, but I fear that the minority group I belong to will see still more discrimination against us and the causes we believe in.  Ironically, it's through information we’ve gotten from the SF Chronicle’s reports on climate chaos and the treatment of animals in factory farms that we've taken up a plant-based diet--something the Food and Wine Section ignores.
